Legitimacy, Participation and Constitutional Change

February 2000 – September 2004

About the project

Voter attitudes to constitutional reform are being analysed in a research
project jointly with CREST and the National Centre for Social Research, funded
under the ESRC’s ‘Democracy and participation’ programme. This project analyses
how far the constitutional reforms produce a change in levels of trust and
participation among the public, and thus to the overall legitimacy of
government.
